Profile:
Fred Barratt made an immediate impact in first-class cricket, taking
eight wickets for Nottinghamshire against the MCC on his debut, and 115
wickets in his first season. The year, however, was 1914, and when
first-class cricket resumed 5 years later he had trouble recapturing
this form. However in 1923 he passed the 100 wicket mark again, and
his batting developed; in 1928 he did the double. He bowled fast,
using the physical strength gained in working down the
Nottinghamshire coal mines, and as a batsman hit hard, and often. His
drives were particularly powerful, and on occasion he scored very
rapidly - particularly during his two first-class hundreds, one of which
was made in just 85 minutes. Barratt gained Test honours in 1929, but failed
to make an impact. By this time Harold Larwood and Bill Voce had joined
him to form a notable pace attack at Nottinghamshire, but he toured
Australasia in 1930, playing in the Tests against New Zealand. His
Test performances were unimpressive, however, and he retired after
the 1932 season with a tally of 1224 first class wickets at an
impressive 22.71. He was also a fine footballer, playing for Aston
Villa and Sheffield Wednesday (DL, 2000).
